Joe has gotten a lot of flack over the years but credit to him for this. On the very first day of free agency too. Erving was said to have been surprised we offered him so much. That about sums it all up for me.

Sunday was Moton's first full start at the left tackle spot in three years I don't know why anyone would have expected him to look all pro instantly. He is by far our best lineman though. Some people still want him and BC to swap but this musical chairs act with the line can't continue on through the season they need some level of continuity.

Ah Nick Goings. I'll always remember those brows. He's a realtor now. Good for him.

Chudzinski was not a good head coach but he had some very good moments as oc. He just got too cute at times but his creativity was worlds better than others we've had over the years.

Yesterday your huddle bestie had a full on meltdown yet you continue with the same kind of behavior. Keep on thinking it makes you look good. Have a nice day!

Give it a rest already.

Greg Olsen's presence was one of the few bright spots from that game.

I assumed surely he would get some limited action against the Eagles but nope. Now it is one of those I'll believe it when I see it situations.

Undrafted never played before. If Deonte and this guy both see the field soon I will be surprised.

That punt before the half says otherwise.

That's cute. We both know you read them if you can find the opportunity to habitually poop on them like your pal hubby.

Shoulda woulda coulda. They were a 1 win team motivated to win while we folded even when they tried to give us the game.

Unacceptable from the interior of the line obviously but one thing I noticed from the loss was Sam didn't seem to be moving around the pocket or utilizing his mobility much like he had in previous games where he was pressured and escaped and either threw it away or tossed a completion. He just stood there and ate sacks or he threw the ball directly at defenders even with time. I'm not talking about every instance bc some of those were instant pressure where he had no chance but there were possible opportunities. He could very well be getting David Carr'd before our eyes.

Snow definitely isn't perfect. But I don't think Phil is the one who decided for us to punt on 4th and 2 and let the Eagles get up the field and score a field goal on us. We had many opportunities given to us by the defense but we either let the qb get beat up with odd playcalls or he threw costly interceptions like he has throughout his career. Snow isn't on the list of concerns rn. The coordinator on the other side of the ball though is a different matter entirely.

Nobody is going anywhere or jumping ship. People are still here talking you just don't like what they have to say. That's too bad.

If you want to dunk go ahead we're just people discussing football. You're trying to make this exclusively about Tom bc I used that as an example but he is not the only quarterback that has had success throwing under pressure. Sam Darnold has never been a great qb or had a good season as a starting qb yet and he just had yet another career worst start against an inferior opponent at home not just bc of the line but bc he made bad decisions with the football even when he had time just as he did in NY. As others have noted there are plenty of opportunities left for him to show us something better but to make it all about the oline when we have seen glimpses of bad Sam through the first 5 games with some costly turnovers negated by our defense and finally culminating in one of the worst home losses I can recall is akin to burying your head in the sand. We need Sam to pull a 180 from whatever that was Sunday but I'm not expecting miracles.

Even if he throws to Thomas who does not get out of bounds he gets minimum 5-10 yards and the Panthers had three timeouts. It was not a do or die situation for Sam to throw a laser into triple coverage. He barely even blinked and the game was over. Either the pass rush got to him or he's not made the strides we thought he did but it is one of the worst decisions I have seen a qb for the Panthers make and I've watched Jimmy Clausen and Kyle Allen play quarterback.

Some of the same issues are present and will probably hold us back but it was to be expected. Playoffs are a possibility but I'm going to be realistic about our chances in the East. All I ask is they make it worth watching. At least we have the Hornets to fall back on should the Panthers keep doing what they do.

I wouldn't pencil in any team as an easy or average opponent. We just lost to a below average team at home.

Another day another round of bitter hubby spamming every post with poo.
